Zero Balancing
What is Zero Balancing?
Zero Balancing® (ZB) is touch therapy that is based on the principle that we are both structure and energy – body/mind/spirit. Zero Balancing touch goes to our core, engaging bones, joints and ligaments to clear tension at this deep level and free your natural vitality or Chi. ZB reduces pain, zaps stress, improves mobility and mood and boosts your energy. Developed by physician and acupuncturist Fritz Smith, MD, ZB helps bring the bodymind into balance, and the results can be dramatic. Often 2 or 3 sessions lead to lasting results.

What can Zero Balancing do for you?
By improving inner balance, ZB can relieve pain and discomfort, boost energy and stamina, free stuck areas, erase stress, encourage insight, and quiet your mind. A ZB session gives you a direct experience of the wisdom of your body. Your healing goals for the session – physical, emotional, spiritual or a combination of the three – are the roadmap for your treatment.
What is a Zero Balancing session like?
Sessions begin with a brief conversation about your current state of health and your priorities for positive change. A ZB session is typically performed through clothing and includes a brief seated evaluation before you lie face up on the massage table. I assess your body for tension held in the bones, joints, and soft tissues. I then invite a release of these tensions by using gentle pressure and comfortable traction. People usually feel a state of deep peace, relaxation and heightened awareness.
ZB is not about treating certain symptoms, but more about treating the whole body, which in turn also treats symptoms. I highly recommend you try ZB for yourself and see just how it can help you in your overall quality of life.
How often should you receive Zero Balancing?
You can schedule sessions to support any goal or intention, such as to reduce back pain, help yourself to slow down or to better face specific life challenges, like a move or new job. I encourage clients schedule three sessions to start, since each session builds on the last.
